Hello, Friends!
Are you good about making birthday cards? I’m terrible about using birthday sentiments intentionally. I was flipping through my “to use” bin here we are a week before my birthday and decided I should make a birthday card.

Today’s card uses products from Mama Elephant’s February Release. These Celebration Hamsters are just too cute – I just love their chubby faces! I stamped and colored them with Copic markers.
Hamsters: [E01, E11, E13], [E0000, E50, E53],
Cake: E30, E34, E35, E39, E79
Pinks: R000, RV10, RV11, RV13
Oranges: YR000, YR02
Yellows: Y00, Y11, Y17
Teals: BG10, BG11, BG13
Purples: V000, V12, V15

For my background, I used the Striallop Diagonal die. I die-cut it first in white to get the pretty scallop frame, then again using different colored cardstock to get colorful strips. All the cardstock I used is from Simon Says Stamp and will be linked below. I used Glad Press N Seal to hold the pieces together and I used foam adhesive to hold them in place on the backside before attaching it to a white cardbase. The scallop frame is attached with liquid adhesive.

I finished by stamping and attaching my sentiment with foam adhesive using the Wishes Enclosed set. I love sentiments with <a rel="noreferrer noopener" href="http://<img src="https://craftincaly.files.wordpress.com/2022/02/me-wishes-enclosed-dies.png" alt="ME Wishes Enclosed Dies"><br>ME Wishes Enclosed Dies<br> <a href="https://shrsl.com/3dxd0" target="_blank">SSScoordinating dies! I’ll never complain about having to fussy-cut less! After adhering them to my card, I attached my colored images with both liquid and foam adhesive to give some images more dimension.
I hope you like this card! Thanks so much for stopping by today!

This is adorable! I think I’ve said so before, but it helps so much when you put in what copic colors you used. So helpful for those like me. ❤
